Strawberry Matcha Green Tea Chia Smoothie Recipe

This Strawberry Matcha Green Tea Chia Smoothie is a great way to start off the day. It’s packed with nutrients and antioxidants.

I’ve been making smoothies for a while now but we seemed to be on a smoothie hiatus the last couple of months. So, recently when my husband ordered a Strawberry Banana Smoothie from the baseball refreshment stand, I made a mental note to start up the smoothie making again.

The next morning, I whipped up this Strawberry Matcha Green Tea Chia Smoothie for him. This smoothie has one serving of fruit along with chia seeds which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium. In addition, I added a teaspoon of Matcha Green Tea, which is ground, steamed green tea leaves and contains a potent level of antioxidants (Tufts University did a study that shows matcha has substantially more antioxidants than blueberries and pomegranates; disclosure: I could not have the direct source of this information).

We practically live on smoothies here, yes, because I can load them up with healthy ingredients!! I’ve not used the matcha tea before, and you have me intrigued. Will need to put this one together for my guys too!
